I hope Ingram isn’t the mold the spurs are looking for…a 6’5” PF who can’t shoot. Holy
Carter Bryant was always going to be a project! He should probably spend the entire season in Austin. Needs work on both sides of the ball. Has the athleticism and right at ude but the IQ is lacking.
Harrison Ingram looked a lot better than last summer league. Positive signs! He fits the mold of the type of player the Spurs like.
Everyone else I’m unsure about after 1 game. For the most part that game was rough to watch lol

He'll be in Austin next season, i want to see Bryant play.

He was there last season.
I can about his ball-hogging but he's improved a great deal since his debut in Austin (I was shocked Sr.'s kid could be so bad). His playing in Canada has helped a lot.
Carter definitely knows how to talk the right way.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Carter Bryant selection. But it is incredible that a lottery pick was used on a project who will spend an entire year in the G-league despite being on a young, inexperienced team with plenty of minutes to go around.
I don't have great feelings about him. There's a lot of room to think he just doesn't have the high level processing needed. It was a big swing. I kind of wish we could have gotten that package from NOP that Atlanta got.
If you guys are referring to my posts, it honestly feels like you’ve never read a game thread before. Posts in a game thread are live reactions and observations based on that specific game. That’s the whole point. If I say a player looks bad tonight, I’m talking about tonight. And if I say something like “he’s gonna struggle this season,” that’s obviously assuming the performance we’re seeing continues. It’s not a prophecy.
Next game, Carter Bryant could drop 30 and look amazing, and I’d probably post something like “he’s an All-Star in the making.” That wouldn’t contradict what I said tonight. It would just reflect what happened in that game. That’s how game threads work. Not every comment is a career verdict.
*because i have to say it: if this game is indicator of how his performance will be for the early part of next season, if not the whole season* - then Carter is not ready. Nothing about his game today indicated he’s ready to contribute to a team trying to make the playoffs. One could say well duh he’s still learning the ropes. That’s not what i’m referring to. Rookie Castle could have the same statline Carter had tonight and still show he’s way ahead in the basketball brain department - that’s because even with a poor statline, Castle knows how to position himself when his teammates have the ball, knows when to take a shot even if he doesn’t make it looks like a good shot, knows when to pass even if it doesnt lead to an assist, etc. - things that don’t show up on the box score. Carter’s fundamentals tonight was poor.
Wright has a type, very primoish.
Off ball and low usage players tend to look worse in summer league vs on ball guys who have the ball in their hands more.
I only watched a bit of the game on my phone. Bryant’s jumper looked nice to me despite a couple of bad misses. Defensively he was out of position a lot and got blown by by Larson a few times seemed like he got in terrible front on squared up defensive stances.
You can’t judge these off ball guys by summer league. Last year Grassy averaged 11 on 31% shooting in 2 games, Clingan looked awful on offense, in 2023 cason Wallace 9 PPG on 30%, Coulibaly 12 on 40%, Podz 9 on 26% FG, Jovic 9 pints on 20%.
There’s lots of scrubs in the summer league who are better on the ball then elite role players in the nba but the role players are way more valuable to winning basketball games when surrounded by better on ball talent and structure.
Grassy lol Gradey *
It's not a huge surprise. Dude couldn't manage 20 minutes a game as a freshman and scored all of about 6 points a game. People tried to pretend it was because the coach stuffed him behind older players, but that's no excuse. A coach is going to play good players. Carter Bryant wasn't ready in college and he's certainly not ready for the NBA. That's not to say he can't learn. Of course he can. But he's very, very similar to Primo in that this is a young player who you hope can develop in a certain way.
Before the Summer League that year there was a small press event where Wemby missed a couple of shots and one of ESPN’s Trump radio guys said he was going to be a bad shooter based off that
It was a little bit of a surprise Bryant lasted to #14. Comparing it to the wild swing for Primo is total nonsense.
Exactly. The mocks I saw had him 10-12.
He should be fine even if he has to spend most of the year in Austin. The faster pace could help him adjust. It's super important they get a real distributor in Austin to set him up. Nelson looks like he's getting better and is already looking for Bryant but they're really missing a better passer like Bouyea.
It's a surprise a guy who didn't start and averaged 6 points a game lasted to 14?
Primo actually had more duties for Alabama than Bryant did at Arizona. They are remarkably similar in how wet behind the ears they were.
Jumping to conclusions after 1 summer league game shows how idiotic some on here are lmao same crew that freaked out when wemby struggled in his games, let the kid get his feet wet before you start calling him Primo
I liked what he said in his interview about the mental mistakes. Similar to what Wemby was saying that first year.
Has the lift of a third grader. Can’t make a layup. Yay.
Yeah, I would have be super happy with that package from NOP. It sucks in more ways than one that Atlanta took it as it could affect the 2027 pick from ATL if they get a good player out of it.
It's only one game, but do you think the Spurs should have went with Thomas Sorber instead over CB?
